Venom toxicity – the bite of Huntsman Spiders is of low risk (non toxic) to humans. They are a non-aggressive group of spiders. However, a large individual can give a painful bite. Beware in summer when the female Huntsman Spider is guarding her egg sacs or young.

Negative NO spider has Poison. No snakes have poison… NO CREATURE that can bite you and inject something from their venom glands is poisonous. They are venomous. Just like Poison arrow frogs are not venomous. They are poisonous!

There is a big difference between Poison and Venom. Venom if ingested cant kill you, it has to get into your blood stream. It might make you sick but it wont kill you. poison can only hurt you if it is ingested.

This is why it is safe to suck out venom from snake bites… It will make you sick, but it wont kill you if it gets in your stomach.

Some people still think daddy long leg spiders are poisonous… Some people!
